I am Deafblind and for years I have relied on my dogs to alert me to
buses, taxis, friends' cars etc. My dog would do this by standing
when she saw the car in question and sort of shaking her butt so that
the harness handle hit my leg. They have *ALL* done this. I haven't
"trained" it but the dogs learn to anticipate getting in the car and
the behavior just sort of chains itself together.
Laveau seems to be the exception to this rule, of course.
We'll be waiting for a cab/bus/friend and I'll put her in a down/
stay. When the car pulls up, all of my other dogs would stand and
smack my leg with the harness. Laveau just lays there and waits for
me to tell her what to do. I can't tell her what to do though because
I don't know that the car is there.
How can I get her to stand up when she sees a familiar vehicle? My
other dogs only alerted for specific cars or buses and they each
probably know over 15 different vehicles.
I'm totally at a loss here. I can do training set ups but I'm just
sort of stumped as to how to get her to alert.
Ideas, anyone?

taste good with ketchup.
